UK Against Fluoridation

Tuesday, February 28, 2017

FluorideAlert.org

Today,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published
their response to
the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 21 petition submitted by
the Fluoride Action Network and a coalition including the American Academy of
Environmental Medicine, Food & Water Watch, the International Academy of
Oral Medicine & Toxicology, Moms Against Fluoridation, and the Organic
Consumers Association. The full TSCA petition can be accessed
here, a shorter 8-page summary
here, and our press
release here.

Michael Connett, an attorney with the
Fluoride Action Network and the author of the petition has the following
statement regarding the initial ruling:

Unfortunately,
the EPA's decision to deny our petition demonstrates that the Agency is not yet
prepared to let go of the outdated assumptions it has long held about
fluoride.We presented the
Agency with a large body of human and animal evidence demonstrating that
fluoride is a neurotoxin at levels now ingested by many U.S. children and
vulnerable populations. We also presented the Agency with evidence showing that
fluoride has little benefit when swallowed, and, accordingly, any risks from
exposing people to fluoride chemicals in water are unnecessary. We believe that
an impartial judge reviewing this evidence will agree that fluoridation poses an
unreasonable risk.

In their decision the
EPA claimed, “Thepetition has not set
forth a scientifically defensible basis to conclude that any persons have
suffered neurotoxic harm as a result of exposure to fluoride in the U.S. through
the purposeful addition of fluoridation chemicals to drinking water or otherwise
from fluoride exposure in the U.S."

As many independent
scientists now recognize, fluoride
is a neurotoxin. The question, therefore, is not if
fluoride damages the brain, but at what dose.

While EPA quibbles
with the methodology of some of these studies, to dismiss and ignore these
studies in their entirety for methodological imperfections is exceptionally
cavalier, particularly given the consistency of the findings and the razor-thin
margin between the doses causing harm in these studies and the doses that
millions of Americans now receive.

EPA's own Guidelines
on Neurotoxicity Risk Assessment highlight the importance of having a robust
margin between the doses of a chemical that cause neurotoxic effects and the
doses that humans receive. We presented the EPA with over 180 studies showing
that fluoride causes neurotoxic harm (e.g. reduced IQ), and pointed out that
many of these studies found harm at levels within the range, or precariously
close to, the levels millions of U.S. children now receive. Typically, this
would be a cause for major concern. But, unfortunately, the EPA has consistently
shied away from applying the normal rules of risk assessment to fluoride -- and
it has unfortunately continued that tradition with its dismissal of
the Petition.

Fortunately, the TSCA
statute provides that citizens can challenge an EPA denial in federal court and,
importantly, that the federal court must conduct a de novo review of the
evidence. In other words, federal courts are to conduct their own independent
review of the evidence without deference to the EPA's judgment. We intend,
therefore, to challenge EPA's denial in court, as we are confident in the merits
of the Petition.

For too long, EPA
has let politics trump science on the fluoride issue (see
examples). We welcome therefore having these
issues considered by a federal court.

FAN will continue to
provide updates as we move forward with our case against the
EPA.

NTP Conference Call
Audio

On February 16th, 2017 the U.S. National
Toxicology Program (NTP) gave an update via conference call on their pending
review of fluoride’s neurotoxic effect on humans and animals. In this conference
call, NTP updated interested parties on the status of their study and fielded
several questions on the specifics of their soon-to-be -published review. A
handful of FAN team members were on the call and asked questions:

Honolulu Star-Advertiser27 Feb 2017
A recent comment suggested that parents give their children fluoride drops as opposed to dumping the chemical in our drinking water. That is exactly what I did, and my now 33-yearold son has never had a single cavity in his life. Prescribing drops could become part of a child’s medical checkups. It’s a simple solution that allows parents to control what is going into their children’s bodies.
It seems inevitable that some people will drink a lot of water, and others almost none at all. Adding fluoride to drinking water will not regulate an individual’s intake of fluoride and seems illogical at best.

‘Lately, statins have come under fire as a study concluded that they do more harm than good. A lot of people take statin drugs such as Crestor, Lipitor and Zocor. In the United States, prescription drug spending rose to $374 billion in the year 2014 (the highest level of spending since 2001). Statins make up for a huge portion of spending, and consumers who take these drugs are going to have a lot to worry over than the damage to their wallets.

The American Journal of Physiology, conducted a study that states that statins “…impact on other biologic properties of stem cells provides a novel explanation for their adverse clinical effects.” Specifically, the study states that such adverse effects include advancing the “process of aging” and also notes that “…long-term use of statins has been associated with adverse effects including myopathy, neurological side effects and an increased risk of diabetes.” Myopathy means skeletal muscle weakness.’......

Groups that are most at risk for iodine deficiency include pregnant women and women aged 40-49, as well as vegans and vegetarians. Photo: TNS

Forty per cent of the world’s population is affected by iodine deficiency.

Much of it is due to inadequate iodine intake through food sources, but changing formulas in commercial food production have eliminated iodine from foods like bread, and the addition of fluoride in drinking water sources obstructs proper iodine absorption.

Groups that are most at risk for iodine deficiency include pregnant women and women aged 40-49, as well as vegans and vegetarians.

Many people are unaware that female breast tissue has a greater concentration of iodine, and thus, requires more iodine.

If your iodine levels are low, health pro-blems will occur. This paints a clearer picture of how some cancers, child developmental problems and fibrocystic breast disease have seen an uptick in modern days.

Iodine and hormones – Iodine is a key element of thyroid hormones, controlling metabolic activities of most cells and aiding in the process of early growth and development of most organs and tissues, including the uterus, ovaries, breasts and brain.

Iodine is found in high concentrations in these parts of your body, as it plays a key role in immune function, detoxification and mitochondria regulation.

Iodine promotes ovulation – Medical studies have found that ovaries have the second highest concentration of iodine after the thyroid.

While experts are still not clear why so much iodine is in the ovaries, it appears to give a boost to ovulation health by reducing ovulation pain, decreasing the risk of cysts and encourages production of the progeste-rone hormone, which is vital to reproductive health.

Iodine regulates oestrogen – Iodine promotes the healthy detoxification of oestrogen, and reduces the sensitivity of the body’s cells to this hormone.

Oestrogen is highly important to women for various reasons, including the development of female organs, but an excess of oestrogen levels (this can happen by ingesting hormones from food sources like dairy pro-ducts) has been linked to women’s health problems.

That is why iodine is essential in treating symptoms such as breast pain, ovarian cysts and PMS.

Iodine as a treatment for fibrocystic breast disease – Changes were tracked in three long-term studies conducted by Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, on more than 1,300 participants.

The use of molecular iodine as treatment showed the most promise – 74% of women studied experienced clinical and objective improvement with no negative impact on the thyroid.

Based on personal experience treating my own patients, women with breast cysts who took just two drops of Lugol’s iodine 5% every day for six months showed a reduction in the cysts.

The mineral selenium protects the thyroid from damage and over-stimulation by iodine. I usually recommend 100 mcg selenium.

How you can prevent iodine deficiency

How much iodine should you be taking every day to prevent deficiency?

If you have been tested and confirmed that you have low iodine levels, the recommended daily allowance, as recommended by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), should be taken once every day for three months:

• Children aged between one to eight – 90 mcg daily

• Children aged between nine to 13 – 120 mcg daily

• Adolescents aged 14 and above – 150 mcg daily

• Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers – 290 mcg daily

Various types of seaweed, including arame, kombu, wakame, kelp and hijiki, are the richest sources of iodine.

Kelp is the most iodine-packed food in the world and can be found at organic food stores, or in tablet or powder form as well..........................

Susan Kanen, Biochemist, Anchorage resident
Cleanwaterteamanchorage.com
On January 24th, the Anchorage Assembly voted to ignore the thousands of Anchorage voters who want to end artificial water fluoridation. The Assembly is solely responsible for fluoridating your water. As they were drinking nonfluoridated water, they voted to override Amy Demboski’s efforts to place on the April 4th ballot an advisory question on stopping water fluoridation. The Assembly essentially said let’s not open that discussion up to ignorant voters even with an advisory vote. Lets just believe the dental and government experts. (really? Experts who for decades have supported toxic mercury amalgams? CDC experts in 2011 lowered their recommended fluoride concentration by over 40% admittedly stating the reason as we are overdosed with fluoride as evidenced by skyrocketing dental fluorosis rates. Trust them?).

Anchorage should more carefully study recent developments around water fluoridation and follow Fairbanks’ example that stopped water fluoridation because it overdoses infants on formula made with tap water; Juneau’s example that stopped water fluoridating because it corroded their plumbing; and the example of many villages stopping water fluoridation including Hooper Bay where fluoride overfeeding killed Dominic Smith and poisoned hundreds of others some possibly with permanent injuries to their kidneys.

I know first hand from my whistleblowing experience as a chemist in DC on lead in drinking water that the EPA not only concealed high lead levels in drinking water as since exposed in Flint, MI., but also covered raw data that showed added fluorides contribute to lead corrosion. Documented in my personal medical record is lifelong and on-the-job fluoride poisoning and later recovery. Fluorides accumulated in my bone at 1500 ppm. The CDC makes no effort to monitor fluoride accumulation in our calcium rich tissues or our pets.

For two years, AWWU has failed produce specific documentation on the required testing for impurities in Anchorage’s batches of Chinese sodium fluorosilicate and Girdwood’s sodium fluoride. They are ‘certified’. Where is the specific data on heavy metals and/or radioactivity for the chemicals dumped 200# per day into your water?

The Assembly’s consensus was that even with an advisory vote on April 4th choosing to end water fluoridation, the Assembly would still not vote fluoride out. Show up April 4th at the ballot box, you may not see the water fluoridation question, but you can vote out those not willing to even ask or listen to the public’s will.

Dr. Al Sears, MD is one of the United States’ leading anti-aging doctors. He has made it his life’s work to challenge conventional medical beliefs and bring his patients the latest breakthroughs in natural cures and remedies to diseases once thought to be incurable. Dr. Sears takes a fresh, novel approach to patient health and wellness. Our environment and food supply has changed for the worse and this is affecting our health. He helps patients return to their “Native Health” and escape accelerated aging caused by modern toxins, pollutants, preservatives, chemicals and other hormonal threats we unknowingly face every day. Sri Lankan healthcare expert Ranjit Seneviratne, a former assistant director of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) acts as a Sri Lankan representative for Dr. Sears. In an interview with our sister newspaper the Sunday Times February 19, the 81-year-old Mr. Seneviratne says he has not been affected by the flu, coughs or colds for the past decade, largely because his diet is mainly made up of a mix of edible leaves, vegetables and fruit all grown organically in his home garden at Kollupitiya. According to Dr. Sears, the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) recently banned the antibacterial agent triclosan from hand soaps. It has been known for a long time that triclosan causes health problems. The problem is that the FDA did not go far enough. It still allows triclosan to be used in products that many people use every day. It is used in items ranging from deodorants and cosmetics to cutting boards. In one study, researchers found that there was triclosan in the urine of 75% of people over the age of six. Dr. Sears says the most troubling part of the FDA ruling is that it still allow triclosan to be used in the most popular toothpastes. Does that mean the FDA determined that triclosan is too dangerous to use on our skin, but it’s OK to use it in our mouths? That does not make sense. According to the patient-friendly medical specialist, the triclosan use has contributed to the rise in antibiotic resistance and it is also a proven endocrine disruptor. It throws our hormones including our thyroid hormones out of whack. Researchers have found that even a medium amount of triclosan decreases the thyroid hormone T4 by more than 45 per cent. A larger dose almost doubles the effect to more than 80 per cent. This can lead to hypothyroidism. When the thyroid is not functioning properly, we experience many unpleasant symptoms -- including fatigue, brain fog, depression, an irregular heartbeat, weight gain, muscle pain, dry skin and thinning hair. If left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to heart problems, mental health issues, goiter and nerve damage. Dr. Sears says that unfortunately, triclosan is not the only dangerous toxin in toothpastes. This chemical is found in many of the big brands. One is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) – a registered insecticide linked to cancer. The other is Aspartame -- this fake sweetener converts to formaldehyde in the body and causes tissue damage. The third is Fluoride. Not only does toothpaste fluoride NOT protect against tooth decay, it lowers IQ, increases mouth and throat cancer risk and causes tooth discolouration. It also produces Microbeads – these plastic beads get trapped under the gums and lead to gum disease. Dr. Sears says he does not use toothpaste anymore. Instead, he brushes his teeth with sea salt. That’s what our ancestors used for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt they invented the world’s first toothpaste more than 5,000 years ago. They used crushed salt, along with mint and other herbs to create a cleaning powder. Sea salt contains trace minerals like calcium, magnesium and sodium. These nutrients strengthen gums and protect against tarter. Over time, they can whiten the teeth. In Sri Lanka for thousands of years our people have used wood charcoal to clean their teeth. Many village folk still do. According to the alternative daily website, wood charcoal was originally used to purify air and water. Now this remarkable powder is often used as an antidote. It is known to absorb chemicals and toxins in the mouth. We have given you a mouthful. Only reading about it will not be useful. You must do it, act on it. - See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/article/Latest-breakthroughs-in-natural-cures-124470.html#sthash.OstiIi5b.dpuf

Review underway for a year

Water fluoridation

Peel Public Health has recommended the region continue adding fluoride to the community’s drinking water system.

For the last year now, councillors on Peel Region’s Community Water Fluoridation Committee have been conducting a review of the decades-old practice promoted as an effective oral health measure.

The local health unit and Medical Officer of Health submitted the formal recommendation to the committee in a Feb. 23 report.

“Peel Public Health supports the continued practice of community water fluoridation as a safe, effective, equitable, and cost-effective measure to provide Peel residents with protective benefits against tooth decay,” stated the final report signed by Health Services Commissioner Nancy Polsinelli.

The recommendation likely comes as no surprise to an ardent anti-fluoride faction in the community that has been following proceedings closely and accused local health officials of bias, cherry-picking scientific data and misleading the committee.

Those opposed to water fluoridation were relentless in making their position heard by the committee and have some support on council.

The committee was set up to form a recommendation for a regional position on continued use of water fluoridation in Peel.

Committee Chair Carolyn Parrish admitted earlier this month that the committee has struggled to come up with a recommendation after listening to all the contradictory information.

At the same meeting that health officials submitted their position on the issue, committee members passed a motion to reaffirm the region’s commitment to oral health.

But the motion also recommended Peel reduce the concentration of fluoride in its drinking water to 0.5 mg/l and switch to a calcium fluoride additive to address concerns about the toxicity of Peel’s current additive.

Peel council has also agreed to ask Ontario to carry out comprehensive toxicity tests and/or assume legislative responsibility for regulating and administering the fluoride additive hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFSA).

Critics of the water treatment have warned HFSA is a highly toxic form of fluoride, produced as a waste byproduct of the phosphate fertilizer manufacturing process.

The committee has now suspended meetings until the province clarifies its role in municipal water fluoridation.

Peel council had the same debate six years ago and decided to continue fluoridation.

Law360, New York (February 24, 2017, 7:12 PM EST) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency denied a petition submitted by health advocates that asked the agency to issue a rule banning the practice of adding fluoride to drinking water, saying that claims the substance is harmful to humans are not based in sound science.

Community drinking water supplies often include added fluoride, and proponents of the practice say it helps prevent tooth decay. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention went so far as to name it one of the 10 greatest public health achievements of...

An Open Letter to Secretary Tom Price

My name is Dr. Edward F. Group III, I am the founder and CEO of Global Healing Center. I would like to congratulate you and President Trump personally on your impressive victory. As our new Secretary of Health and Human Services, you have the large responsibility of caring for the health of all Americans. The most efficient way to make America great again is to make America healthy again. Secretary Price, America needs an independent advisory committee to advocate for disease prevention and the implementation of proven natural remedies to address the root cause of America’s health problems.

I have spent over 20 years studying natural medicine. I am a Doctor of Chiropractic, Naturopathic Practitioner, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Holistic Healing Practitioner, and Certified Clinical Herbalist. I am also a Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition (DACBN), the American Board of Functional Medicine (DABFM), and the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition (CBCN). I am a veteran of the United States Army and attended Harvard and MIT business schools.

Over the years, my focus has been evaluating the root cause of disease. As part of true healthcare reform and the challenge of repealing and replacing the Obamacare disaster, I would like to volunteer my time, effort, and expertise to begin this conversation and work towards healing America.

Here is how I propose we work together:

Address the Root Cause of America’s Health Problems

Our current healthcare system does not promote wellness, proven natural remedies, or prevention-based medicine. The allopathic model treats the symptoms of disease, not the root cause. The root cause of disease is exposure to, and the accumulation of toxins that pollute our air, food, and water. We know they damage our health, make us sick, and harm the earth. Lifestyle modifications are known to dramatically reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, which represent the majority of healthcare spending. To change healthcare, we must acknowledge why we are becoming ill, overweight, sterile, and mentally unstable:

Toxic Chemicals: Review and replace the use of all toxic, endocrine-disrupting, human-made chemicals such as herbicides, VOCs, fire retardants, pesticides, and phthalates that are destroying our bodies, soil, and earth.

GMO Foods: Review the production of all GMO food crops which will also reduce the use of toxic herbicides and pesticides. We know that the health of gut flora is closely tied to the health of soil flora. GMO foods are saturated with toxic chemicals that are unhealthy and cause disease.

Toxic Food and Beverages: Review and study the use of all artificial ingredients, sweeteners, colors, dyes, chemicals, refined sugars, alcohol, MSG, preservatives, and compounds added to our food and beverages. Determine the safety of each by the use and funding of third-party research groups.

Vaccines: Allocate funding and appoint a third-party research team free of ties to the pharmaceutical industry to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and flu shots, and, specifically, study the health of vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated children.

Toxic Water: Establish a team of qualified scientists focused on cleaning up our water supplies as well as municipal water. Review the use of fluoride and chlorine and determine ways to eliminate chemicals, herbicide, heavy metals, fracking compounds, and prescription drug residue found in the water supply.

EMF Exposure: Establish a team of independent scientists to review the health-depleting effects of wifi, smart meters, cell phones, cell phone towers, body scanners in airports, and other forms of harmful EMF exposure.

Toxic Air: In the last ten years, respiratory disease in the US has moved from the eighth to the third highest cause of death. Asthma rates have more than doubled in the western world and Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that is caused by aluminum poisoning, has also skyrocketed......

CHAPEL HILL -- The OWASA Board of Directors continued their evaluation of two consultant reports outlining the causes of the water treatment plant shutdown and water main break that resulted in a massive water shortage for more than 80,000 customers in Chapel Hill, Carrboro and some other parts of Orange County earlier this month.

Human error and equipment malfunctions have been identified as the causes of the over-fluoridation of water at the Jones Ferry Road Water Treatment Plant that prompted a shutdown and later contributed to one of the largest water main breaks in OWASA history.............

Dr Paul Connett WA’s Fluoride-Free political party is upping the stakes during this year’s election, with a community debate about fluoridation of public water supplies set for this weekend. The local leg of the “Great Fluoridation Debate” with fluoridation expert Professor Paul Connett takes place at Margaret River Community Centre on Sunday at 2pm. Dr Connett is a retired chemistry, toxicology and waste management expert from New York’s St Lawrence University. “Like most people, I thought those opposed to fluoridation were a little nutty,” Dr Connett said in a Fluoride-Free WA media release.“Then I read the literature and changed my mind. The science is truly on the side of the people opposed to fluoride, but the promoters always trump this with politics.” FFWA is running Upper House candidates John Vukovich and Hayley Green in the South West, while Margaret River resident Gillian Pearce is running for a seat in the Agricultural zone in the March 11 election. WA’s Health Department recently said it had no immediate plans to fluoridate Margaret River water.

Have you noticed white or brown splotches or streaks on your child’s teeth? If you’re alarmed and beginning to think it is a form of tooth decay, you’ll be pleased to learn it’s more likely a case of mild to moderate dental fluorosis. Fluorosis occurs when tooth enamel is exposed to too much fluoride early in its development, which may cause the staining you’re noticing. The question is, though, what can you do about it?...............

Take your credit card with you - it's expensive.

Children show when they have had too much fluoride but adults do not exhibit the same indication but what else is it doing to the unseen skeleton and the organs of the body?

Today we take for granted an awareness of environmental matters, but this was not always the case. It could be said that in Britain there was a moment when that environmental consciousness arrived. When in 1963 some farm animals in the parish of Smarden in Kent became sick and died, suspicions fell on a nearby pesticide factory run by a division of Rentokil Laboratories. The events that followed amounted to one of the first environmental scandals in contemporary British history – one that would galvanise the environmental movement.

It became clear that the factory, a large shed in the middle of farmland, was manufacturing toxic chemicals and that a leak of one of these, fluoroacetamide, led to Britain’s first documented livestock mass poisoning. The incident might have passed by as only a historical footnote, but instead the Smarden leak quickly became a national concern with international implications, and has cast a long shadow across the approach to intensive agriculture in the UK in the years since.

Part of why this incident had such major repercussions is due to timing, coming as it did at the same time as American writer Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was first published in the UK. Seen as the first polemic of the environmental movement, Carson’s book was a significant catalyst to the emergence of modern environmentalism on both sides of the Atlantic....................

BATTLEFIELD, Mo. The water district in Battlefield, Missouri will soon stop adding fluoride to its water and some dentists think that's a bad idea.

Doctor Marlene Feisthamel, the only dentist in Battlefield, said multiple grant offers have been offered to the board to provide fluoride in the water.

Even though the board said it wanted to save money by cutting it out.

She believes fluoride should still be added to the water.

"As a consumer of the public water supply district water I want fluoride in my water, Feisthamel said. "And I want these school kids to have fluoride, I want these little kids to have fluoride in their teeth. I've seen what it can do and I've seen when they don't have it, and it's better to have it."

The President of the Greater Springfield Dental Society said the reason for taking the fluoride out of the water isn't good enough.

"We offered money thinking the money would be an incentive to continue with the fluoridation and he clearly said that was not the issue," Endodontist Dr. Lisa Castleman said. "So, we are still moving forward with asking Delta Dental of Missouri with money so that will still be there if they change their mind, and we hope they do."

The Chairman of the Public Water Supply District for Battlefield said the board wants to get rid of the fluoride because it can corrode the water pipes.

He also said the money can be better used on projects other than fluoridation.

If the water board moves ahead with its decision, fluoride treatment for Battlefield will end in May.

Other local towns, including Ozark, also do not add fluoride to the water.

The national average concentration of fluoride in tap water in Canada was 0.12 milligrams per litre (mg/L), based on new results from the fourth cycle (2014 and 2015) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS). This is about 10 times lower than Health Canada's maximum acceptable concentration of 1.5 mg/L for fluoride in drinking water.

Health Canada states that water containing fluoride at or below this level of concentration does not pose a risk to human health.

Fluoride is a compound recognized as being effective in preventing tooth decay. The ingestion of excessive amounts of fluoride during enamel formation, which occurs during childhood, can lead to dental fluorosis, a cosmetic condition of the teeth that may cause stains, surface irregularities and pitting. Water, food and beverages, as well as dental products are the major sources of fluoride exposure.

The CHMS also measured the concentration of fluoride in urine. The national average concentration of creatinine adjusted fluoride in urine for Canadians aged 3 to 79 measured during the CHMS (2014 and 2015) was 2.4 micromoles per millimole (µmol/mmol). There were no significant differences in urine fluoride levels between sex and age groups. There are currently no established reference ranges for fluoride in urine that would allow for a determination of acceptable concentration levels.

Creatinine adjustment is commonly used to control for possible differences in the concentration (or dilution) of the urine itself.

The information collected through the CHMS could help researchers determine how the sources of fluoride exposure mentioned above affect urine fluoride levels as well as be used for further investigations into acceptable concentration levels in urine.

How Fluoride Affects Consciousness and the Will to Act

You can find traces of fluoride in almost everything these days. It is a super harmful neurotoxin that corporation among corporation is filtering into our diet more every day. Fluoride was first utilized in cleaning teeth, but now it has been stretched way beyond its capacity. Fluoride is a harmful chemical that has terrible effects…

Have you noticed white or brown splotches or streaks on your child’s teeth? If you’re alarmed and beginning to think it is a form of tooth decay, you’ll be pleased to learn it’s more likely a case of mild to moderate dental fluorosis. Fluorosis occurs when tooth enamel is exposed to too much fluoride early in its development, which may cause the staining you’re noticing. The question is, though, what can you do about it?

Understanding Fluorosis

Fluorosis comes in four “shades,” if you will: very mild, mild, moderate and severe. In the first two instances, the mottling of the tooth enamel is hardly perceptible, and usually shows up as a faded white streak or spot. In many cases, your dentist or hygienist will be the first to notice it because of all the attention they pay to your child’s teeth. The latter two, however, will certainly be noticeable to you because the discoloration will likely affect more than one tooth, and a larger surface area of enamel. Sometimes, the coloring can include the outlining of brown as well. With the “severe” shade, the predominant color is brown, and most certainly noticeable.

Since most cases of fluorosis are of the “very mild” or “mild” variety, most people live life without a single concern about it. In fact, most are even oblivious to there being anything “different” about their teeth altogether. So, if your child isn’t worried about it, you probably shouldn’t be worried about it either. If on the other hand, your child is bothered by the appearance of their teeth, and particularly if your child’s teeth are shaded brown, then intervention can be a good option.

That said, covering up a case of fluorosis is more difficult than you might think. The three favorable methods to correct it involve a bit of work and cost, but they can be successful. They are dental bonding, veneers, and deep whitening.

Dental bonding: Dental bonding is the most affordable of the three, and is something you may already be familiar with. This solution involves removing a slight portion of the enamel and then filling it in with a tooth colored filling. The results match your child’s teeth exactly, and can be a quick and easy fix.

Porcelain Veneers: Veneers can be costly, and definitely not a good option on primary teeth. They can be a good solution for a teenager with fully erupted permanent teeth, however, or for a child nearing their twenties.

Deep Whitening: Deep whitening, while it might seem like an easy fix, is often done with only limited success. In fact, the success rate can be so limited that some dentists will not even attempt whitening due to fears it can make the spotting more pronounced. This process can involve several visits to the office, in addition to proprietary whitening products. This type of deep whitening is most certainly not an over-the-counter remedy.

Should you be interested in tackling a case of fluorosis, asking every question you have of your dentist is the best way to decide on an option.

The public has been trained and conditioned to believe that federal agencies like the EPA exist to watch over them and warn them of any potential dangers. This notion could not be further from the truth.

Though there are honest and caring people within these agencies (like the scientist who has drafted the statement below), the institutions as a whole exist to hide threats from the population, not to disclose them.

The majority of the public continues to convince themselves that if there was really anything they should be concerned about, someone, somewhere, in some federal public protection agency would tell them. The statement below should be a sobering wake-up call for us all.

It is yet another confirmation of all that has been stated above. From global geoengineering, to Fukushima, to toxic fluoridated water and lethal vaccinations, the public health and the health of our biosphere is being decimated. Where are the official warnings from official agencies? The truth continues to be hidden by the government agencies that are tasked with hiding it.

Michael Davis is now a former EPA scientist who is working with GeoengineeringWatch.org in an effort to get the truth out, his full resume is at the bottom of this article.

Michael was recently terminated from the EPA for daring to tell the truth about two extremely dire public dangers, the highly toxic fallout from climate engineering, and the willful contamination of the public water supply with industrial waste.

Paternalistic Managerialism Predetermines Introduction of Fluoride to Public Water

Published on 19 Feb 2017
In February 2017 Orange County North Carolina suffered a water emergency as a result of an "accidental" fluoride overfeed at their water treatment plant. Subsequently, as the water authorities began using interconnects with a neighboring municipality, a 12" water main broke which exacerbated the issue and threatened the entire service area's ability to use their running water.

In response to the event the OWASA board took public comment as the disaster caused the citizens to suffer more than $1 million dollars in damages.

To the OWASA board's surprise, the majority of the public speakers who took time out of their busy day to provide feedback, spoke narrowly in opposition to the community water fluoridation program & demanded it's immediate cessation.

This is not the tangent OWASA wanted or expected to address - their public announcements and news releases made sure to couch the declaration of emergency and events leading to it as isolated, accidental, and simple aberrations of normal fluoridation procedures.

The reality is actually much more dark; OWASA was warned vehemently between 2012-2014 that the fluoridation policy threatened the infrastructure and other biological systems. One should be really wondering now that the utility's sustainability has been severly threatened, whether the original cost benefit analysis of introducing poison industrial fluorosilicic acid still makes fiscal and ethical sense.

They did not want to acknowledge the aforementioned facts, which Zach Davidson brought to their attention back as early as 2013:

Through a series of carefully crafted meetings, the OWASA board in cahoots with the Orange County Health Department put on the auspice of investigation, but never did they waver from the predetermined outcome of continuing fluoridation. Now they are facing a PR nightmare and an investigation into their possible negligence.

Zach cuts through the BS and now questions the entire paternalistic managerialism of the un-elected OWASA board and their stranglehold on the public's water utility.

In a week when a university team hacked a model of a water supply system and poisoned it by releasing excessive quantities of fluoride, a new report says hackers could target airline booking systems and ruin journeys.

Andrey Nikishin, a cyber security expert at Kaspersky said: “Three computer systems are responsible for booking the majority of all airline trips world wide and each is vulnerable to exposing passenger information due to several legacy flaws”...........

37,000 people across Co Longford will wake up this morning and spend their day drinking contaminated water.
Irish Water is currently endeavouring to eliminate the toxins in the water which include Trihalomethanes (THMs) - chemicals formed by the reaction of naturally occurring dissolved organic material and chlorine which is used for disinfection in order to protect against pathogenic bacteria.
The situation is now so serious that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has placed the four water systems in the county on its Remedial Action List (RAL). The four plants include the Ballymahon Water Supply, the Longford Central Supply Scheme, the Granard Water Supply Scheme and the Loch Gowna Water Supply Scheme.
Irish Water, meanwhile, says it is investing in on-going projects to address the different risks to the water supplies affecting over 37,000 people in the county.............

Kununurra anti-fluoride campaigners Danny Carter and Kellie Jackson with Kimberley MLA Josie Farrer who presented a petition to State Parliament last year.

An American anti-fluoride advocate is coming to Kununurra as residents push to stop the introduction of increased fluoridation in the town’s water supply.

Paul Connett, a former chemistry professor, is coming to the Kimberley to outline why it should reject fluoridation.

Mr Connett is the founder of the Fluoride Action Network and has written books on fluoride. The topic has become an election issue with most major party candidates so far weighing in. Liberal candidate Warren Greatorex said in November he supported Kununurra residents having a choice about whether it was introduced despite the health minister from his own party being in favour.

Labor member for Kimberley Josie Farrer submitted a petition to Parliament last year on behalf of several hundred residents against fluoridation. Nationals candidate Rob Houston said he had his personal views on the subject, but there had been a botched job in consultation by the Government with the community.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation’s Keith Wright has repeatedly spoken in Kununurra against the introduction of fluoride, despite personally being in favour of the process.

He said the town already had naturally occurring fluoride in its water and it would would be a waste of money to increase the percentage when there were other places in WA which needed it more.

WA Greens candidate Liz JUVaughan said last weekweighed in last week saying residents should be able to choose if it was introduced into the water supply. “There are concerns from a number of residents that the government, and its processes, has not been transparent. It is clearly a major concern for some members of the community and they have a right to have those concerns answered by government,” she said. “This is not a critique on the science of fluoride and dental health, it is a statement on the right of the community to have their questions answered; this isn’t controversial, this is democracy.

"The addition of fluoride to drinking water is not a cure-all for poor dental health; we should be doing more to educate people on and treat the underlying causes.”

Mr Connett will be speaking at Kununurra Leisure Centre on Monday at an event running from 5.30-7.30pm
